NYC Gets Warning Of “Blizzard-Like Conditions”

Gothamist reports:

Mayor Bill de Blasio gave an update this afternoon on the anticipated snowbonanza, relaying the NWS forecast of 8-12 inches of snow between Wednesday and Thursday, though he stressed that that number could change in the next 24 hours.

It’s expected to begin snowing around 4 p.m., but Thursday morning is when there could be dangerous “blizzard-like conditions” with intense wind and intense snow.

“We have not had a lot of storms like this in the last few years, thank God…so this could be the biggest storm in several years.”

Brace for Nor’easter, New York. ❄️
